Everyone knows that Bayer is a cursed team that annually finds itself among the contenders for the highest places, but the last title they managed to win was in the 1992/93 season, winning the German Cup. In his second year at the club, Xabi Alonso will try to break the streak of bad years for Leverkusen, and the championship's debut only inspires faith in such an outcome. In the three opening rounds, they beat Leipzig 3:2, Borussia Mönchengladbach 3:0, and Darmstadt 5:1. After that, a real test awaited them as an away battle with Bayern. Still, Bayer also coped with it, playing a 2:2 draw, which allowed them to maintain their lead in the Bundesliga standings.

Bayer failed at the start of last season, but then there was a fateful appointment of Xabi Alonso as head coach, after which their results increased sharply. Both in the Bundesliga and the Europa League, they have made tremendous progress, and now the Spaniard is spending his first full year in his new job, so we should expect even more productive play from his charges. So far, they have succeeded, as the only loss of points "the team allowed in the away match with Bayern, which clearly can not be called a failure.
Bayer recently not only beats everyone in a row but also looks very powerful in attack. In the last seven matches, Xabi Alonso's wards have already scored 29 goals (4.14 average per game). Now they will have a home meeting against Hecken, which last played on zero more than a month ago and, in the last four matches of the local championship, conceded nine times (2.25 average per game).
